There are some new items available in Microsoft Xbox 360 Live that you are going to need to know about. First off is the division of Microsoft Xbox 360 Live into two separate types – silver and gold.

The Microsoft Xbox 360 Live silver service is the free version of Microsoft Xbox 360 Live. This service offers players an easy way to get online and find downloads for their games.
Additionally, they can use the voice chat to communicate with other Xbox live players. That is all the service provides however. Silver service is of virtually no use if you plan to play games online.
While it does provide you with all the content you need for single player game play, you do not get this until one week after gold subscribers. For me, Microsoft Xbox 360 Live gold is the only way to go. This service is where the Xbox truly comes alive.
Microsoft Xbox 360 Live – Gold
The Gold service has many features that make it an great way to game online. The amount of Microsoft Xbox 360 Live games is unbelievable. Your online avatar is displayed to the world. Each account can set up a different “motto” which will be displayed to other gamers online.
In addition your account will keep a record of you achievements that you earn during game play. You can also link this back to your Facebook account so that people will see updates of your achievements. Each account has a unique username that is also displayed to all the other gamers.
As you play more and more you build up a reputation. If players like playing with you they can vote on you in a positive light. As this builds up you will find it easier and easier to get games. In addition, it will become easier to avoid bad players or players with a bad attitude.
Your Gamerscores keep track of all of you total player achievement points. You also can build a friends list which will list all of your chosen friends.
